In the latest AER, a paper by Heffetz and Rabin emphasizing the importance of dealing with non-response bias “By using the reported number of call attempts made to participants in the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers, we show that comparisons among easy-to-reach respondents differ from comparisons among hard-to-reach ones. Notably, easy-to-reach women are happier than easy-to-reach men, but hard-to-reach men are happier than hard-to-reach women, and conclusions of a survey could reverse with more attempted calls.” h/t Marginal Revolution.

A randomized experiment on making referee reports non-anonymous – “Signed reviews were of higher quality, were more courteous and took longer to complete than unsigned reviews. Signed reviewers were significantly less likely to recommend rejection of manuscripts (18%) than unsigned reviewers (33%)” This is a paper from 2000, but had not heard of it. h/t @dadkim
